CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Gov. Jim Justice and various business leaders on Monday announced a business deal years in the making that could bring up to 1,000 manufacturing and technology jobs to West Virginia.
DST Innovations and Blue Rock Manufacturing agreed to establish a new facility for developing energy cells. The manufacturing base will be located in Morgantown with a second-phase expansion planned for southern West Virginia.
“The new development is at the forefront of green technology,” Gov. Jim Justice said during a virtual press conference, “using existing organic materials, such as coal, and creating new clean energy storage solutions.”
DST Innovations, which is headquartered in Wales, and the West Virginia-based Blue Rock Manufacturing have been working on the agreement for three years.
“We will be so pleased to have so many jobs,” Blue Rock Manufacturing’s Mary Anne Ketelsen said. “We need them, and I can’t think of a better place to bring jobs other than West Virginia.”
Justice stressed the impact the jobs could have on growth involving other businesses.
“Can you just fathom what coming to West Virginia with 1,000 jobs means to this state? Coming to West Virginia with the possibility of growing to 1,000 jobs?” he said. “Now, it may take real time for you to get there …. but absolutely, the multiplier effect of those jobs is unbelievable.”
The facility is part of an international $1.4 billion natural energy project; products created in West Virginia will be utilized at Dragon Energy Island in South Wales for energy generation.
